VIDEOS/PHOTOS: Personal fireworks started a brush fire in the Hazelwood neighborhood on Tuesday afternoon, according to Portland Fire & Rescue. Around 1:15 p.m. PF&R posted on Twitter that the fire had spread to the exterior of a home. Fireworks have been banned in Portland since 2022 “for this very reason,” wrote PF&R. About 30 minutes later crews had extinguished the fire. There were no reported injuries. Photos shared by PF&R showed a row of trees along a fence completely charred and blackened. It’s not clear if the home on the other side of the fence was damaged.
